About twenty years ago, my friend Andy once went to Egypt on vacation. He made the mistake however of staying at a two star hotel. A two star hotel in Egypt is probably like a one star hotel in many countries.
When Andy went back to his room after dropping off his bags he noticed to his horror that a large iguana was sitting on his bed.
Andy ran from his room and rushed over to the manager.
“Come to my room quick.” yelled Andy.
“What is it?” asked the manager in return in a thick accent.
Together they proceeded to Andy’s room, and Andy pointed at the iguana and exclaimed, “Look what’s on my bed.”
“That’s o.k.,” said the manager. “He eats the cockroaches.”, and with that the manager simply walked out. Andy shook his head in disbelief, and started looking at his guidebook for other accommodations.
Life Lesson 86: When my brother was in Israel he once slept under a fig tree like a biblical figure, but that was only because he had too. When possible, never stay in a two star hotel, especially in certain countries, because lumpy pillows probably aren’t the only things you may encounter in your bedroom.
